What is happening when the baby has a long cough that doesn't get better?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. What's going on with the baby's persistent cough?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Cough is often caused by respiratory tract inflammation and generally requires antibiotics and anti-inflammatory treatment. Medications like Cefixime or Azithromycin are commonly used. If oral medication is not effective, intravenous treatment is recommended under the guidance of a local doctor. For those with phlegm, adding Xian Zhu Li and Ambroxol can be tried.
There are many reasons that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system problem, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
